Supporting your child's learning at home - Homework
Reading - Remember to read at least five times a week and to complete the weekly reading homework task. Please record each read in your child's home reading diary. Reading books and reading diaries should be brought into school each day. Children will receive their Read 5, Hi 5 sticker on a Friday day for completing their five reads and their reading homework task.
Children will be given spellings to complete as homework through 'Spelling Shed'. Please support your child in learning these. Please practise your weekly spellings for our spelling tests on a Friday. Children should practise their spellings as least 5 times each week.
Times Tables Rock Stars - at least 25 minutes a week.
We had a wonderful time with Adam from Primary History Workshops this half-term learning about the Anglo-Saxons. We enjoyed listening to the story of Beowulf, learning about who the Anglo-Saxons were and where they came from, exploring primary and secondary sources of evidence, having our own archaeological dig and discussing what we found. We were trained as Anglo-Saxon Warriors and got to handle some of the weapons and shields they would have used. We learned how to read Anglo-Saxon runes and used our knowledge to break a code to decide whether a helmet was Anglo-Saxon or Viking. We learned how to play and Anglo-Saxon game and finished off the day with another storytelling session. We had a wonderful day and can't wait to learn more about the Anglo-Saxons in our History lessons this term.
